Title: but what about 356C disc brakes???? Post by: Lee.C on March 07, 2009, 20:21:04 pm I have heard a rumor that you can also fit 356C disc brakes on a Beetle Front AND rear - I think the Ex Goss, Ex Fastbrit, Richie Choptop has them on the front :-\

I think the rears require you to use the Porsche axle tubes as well?? The Porsche Alxe Tubes do not have Shock Mounts like the VW so it is either use the VW and make a claiper bracket or make a shock mount on the porsche ones, the fronts only fit Link Pin front endsTitle: Re: but what about 356C disc brakes????

Post by: Lee.C on March 08, 2009, 21:18:55 pm I've been looking around and the 356C set up seems VERY close to a 924 at the front at least and Early 944 at the back :-\ Any thoughts ??? :)

the first i do was looking after the disc brake , and i was suprise to see that mike removed those one i ask him about the mods to do no modification on the front they fit directly , but for the rear you will pick up the swing axle and the swing axle tube from the porsche , and mike said that he has of make manufacture the swing axle at the level where the bearings comes , because that didn't go correctly into its housing and he said that the brakes don't give a good result with a big engine , that's why he removed those one rgd fabs |
